So..i'm thinkin bout keepin it simple with some assorted jellys and preservatives..what goes well with these? Crackers? Cheese? I need somethin else to add to this basket. Any suggestions?

I got Apricot Preserves, Strawberry preserves, and Honey Sweet Apple Butter....all made by local Raleigh Farmers.

Look at a Hickory Farms gift basket for more ideas. If they celebrate Christmas consider an NC lighthouse ornament.

wtf

use some thought into what they enjoy

if the dad has a humidor, go to the tender boz and pick something out, etc etc

gift baskets are easy outs

but the local stuff would be cool for the mom. The dad would be like "wtf"

well, i did put some insight into this...the dad's favorite is apricot, and the moms favorite is strawberry...i just need somethin else to go with all this. I dunno what goes well with preserves.

12/11/2005 11:42:35 AM

I couldn't take myself seriously to give them preserves. It's kind of a grandma thing to do.

A bottle of decent wine??

12/11/2005 11:45:00 AM

yeah, i was kinda thinkin that myself...maybe i'll just eat them and go shopping today.

not having a pregnant, unmarried daughter should be enough of a gift for any parent

if they want more than that, then they are asking too much

[Edited on December 11, 2005 at 12:36 PM. Reason : that's gift enough for ME AND HER PARENTS]

12/11/2005 12:36:14 PM

not getting their daughter pregnant is prolly a good start

thats what i get for not reading the thread

[Edited on December 11, 2005 at 12:38 PM. Reason : DOH WELL]

cheese, crackers, and a bottle of NC wine, like muscadine or scuppernong (made from wild grapes ) Duplin Co found at the Wine store is really tasty.

12/11/2005 1:09:08 PM

i wanted to get them wine, but figured that might be wierd. fyi, i'm 20.

12/11/2005 1:10:14 PM

Get them a gift certificate for them to go out to eat...I got my bf's parents that for Christmas my first Christmas, and second Christmas, and maybe even this third one coming up! But, seriously-they like to go out to eat and someone else pay for it.

12/11/2005 1:22:08 PM

My g/f's parents get excited at the promise of my certificates. I get them to places that they wouldnt normally go so they really enjoy it.

12/11/2005 1:50:51 PM

I got some nice locally made cheeses to go with the jams and stuff...and a nice basket and i'm prolly gonna throw some nice crackers in with it. I'm sure they'll be just fine with it.

book

think about all the random shit they talk about it, and buy a book that relates to it.

12/11/2005 3:54:53 PM

A bottle of wine?

A coffee table book?

ask the girlfriend?

12/11/2005 4:00:20 PM

Good homemade or bakery fresh bread would be nice too. Just make sure you add it to the basket right before you give it to them

12/11/2005 4:03:53 PM

Get her mom a Cybian and her dad a porno.

12/11/2005 7:21:58 PM

makes some porn with their daughter and then gift wrap it.

12/11/2005 7:29:39 PM

that'd be easy...i've got some already made. Just need to throw a bow on there or somethin.

12/11/2005 8:25:10 PM

seriously don't go w/ the perserves...that's lame.

12/11/2005 10:03:06 PM

may throw in a 6 pack of Bud.

12/11/2005 10:03:58 PM

nice picture frame with picture of daughter in it. something thoughtful. if someone gave me one of those stupid gift baskets i'd regift it back.

it's the best tasting cheap wine in nc, to me that is.

12/12/2005 2:15:10 AM

bleh, the bottle i tried tasted like cough syrup.

12/12/2005 2:19:56 AM

tamim, go to the Old Mill on 68. buy some biscuit mix, pancake mix, and some good maple syrup to with it. kinda make a breakfast basket.

i did that once for my b/f's parents, and they liked it.

12/12/2005 8:11:39 AM

^that's a good idea too...i may buy them all that in addition to everything else.
